A majority of malignant cells displayed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. A few cases of urothelial, thyroid, endometrial, pancreatic and heptocellular carcinomas showed strong positivity.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
BLOC1S4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
BCAS4L, CNO, FLJ11230
Description
Biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex-1, subunit 4, cappuccino (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This intronless gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. A similar protein in mouse is a component of a protein complex termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 (BLOC-1), and is a model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. The encoded protein may play a role in intracellular vesicular trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
